some how the virus was destroyed in your body, i'm thinking when it was newly introduced in your body.

Still can't figure out how I got my virus exactly. I remember having cold sores as a kid and they seem to be triggered by stress that is given when a close relative dies. I remember almost every funeral I went to that involved someone I was close to as a kid I'd get a small breakout on my lip. Happened like 5 times and I haven't had one in 12 years.
Now at 23 I just found out I have genital herpes and was completely devastated. Me and my partner both. I had a horrible breakout 4 months ago inside my urethra and man it fealt like I had glass lodged in there. No breakout since. No external blisters or anything.
During the breakout though I had this extreme nerve pain in my left leg that I recall having as a child due to me thinking it was my shorts inseam rubbing on my leg forcing me to buy like 10 pairs of shorts.... then it just went away but no external outbreak. My doctor says that's normal with herpes but indicates to me that I've had it since I was like 7 or 8. How the hell do you get herpes at that age? I wasn't sexually active until 19-20ish. None of my partners reported any issues but my current GF had what looked like an outbreak but they can't tell. Her doctor thinks she gave it to me because of she has hemroids and my doctor thinks I gave it to her. Doesn't matter at this point but either way it's not fun.

Because even if you have it, between outbreaks, a blood test sometimes still shows negative. When i told my ex that I found out i had it, she went to get tested and hers said negative and then a minth later, she had an outbreak. Its very common, unless your having an outbreak or almost ready to have to, it usually shows negative

you absolulty can have children. I had children. my OBGYN prescribed me valtrex the last 4 weeks of my pregnancies just to help prevent an outbreak from occurring. and if for some reason you have a sore at birth you will have a C section.
I had my first outbreak in 2010 and have never had one since. I had children in 2011 and 2014

I believe the blood test is indirect, it looks for antibodies, not the virus itself. I am having my first outbreak now, I asked my girl if she has it and she said no, so maybe I have had it for some time and didn’t know. Hopefully I am as lucky as you.

You only test positive for herpes if your having an outbreak at that moment when they test for it. That's why herpes spread because some people don't even know they have it. If you don't have an outbreak at the time of testing then the results will show negative. It doesn't mean that the person doesn't have it.

I have a friend that has herpes, she’s never had a outbreak. Her doctor tested for everything and her results came back positive.

Hello, this post seems to be old but I am hoping atleast one person replies to me.
Last year I was given Herpes by my ex fiancé.
It has been almost a year now but the thought of never being able to love someone again little known ever have a family is heart wrenching. I am 21 and have been dealing with it well. I continue my education and work as normally would.
What are some ways you get over the fear. I myself haven’t hugged my mother in over a year just because I feel like a walking disease and have a fear of passing it and ruining anyone’s else’s life. I feel like my life ended last year and now I am just living the after math waiting for the day god says I have had enough and is ready to take me.

I know how you feel :( I'm 20 years old and devastated. I haven't been actually diagnosed yet but I'm convinced.. I was exposed to hsv-1 by my bf 7 days ago. I felt like a tingle sensation about 2 days later that just progressed to a slight burning sensation. By then I was convinced. I went to the doctor on Tuesday, and she said that it's very common and that I shouldn't worry because it's not life-threatening or detrimental. At the end of the day, we have to deal with what life throws at us even though I've shed tears literally every day since exposure. And the thing is, my bf didn't even know he had an outbreak at the time (right under his nose) and it was first thing in the morning (so it was dark). But he looked down there this morning - day 7 (he performed oral sex that morning unfortunately) - and said he saw something. But I went to the doctor today and she didn't see any blisters but she saw it was inflamed. Long story short she said to assume that I have it unless (fingers crossed but I already know) proven otherwise. It helps to talk to a trusted friend or family member about it, and to remember how common it is.

Hey, I’m so sorry your feeling like this. I unfortunately have had herpes for about 11 Years. It started with out breaks every month and now touch wood I haven’t had it for 2 years. My ex long term partner has just phoned me up and told me he’s now got it. I was always told by the drs that I could only pass it on when I have symptoms or open blisters. So now I feel horrific. Telling new partners is awful. You feel dirty, unworthy and damn right c**p. You’ll find some one out there that will be understanding. Just be honest.

You got a false positive or false negative. This happens a LOT with HSV. ask for a western blot test
